She is also the sweetest and you should request her for your massage. Despite being the last client of the day for her, she totally exceeded expectations and i am so glad i met her Jayden at pool desk, went out of his way to run and find my sunglasses in the housekeeping basement as quickly as possible before i had to rush to check out, so very grateful for him

We were booked at this hotel for a birthday and our 39th Anniversary…read more We were told we had a great room, facing the ocean. Our room location was the last room at the far end of our building, overlooking a parking lot and in a terrible location. Room #6146 We didn't want to question this as we were tired from our plane trip and we didn't want this special occasion to be damped by any negativity. We were highly disappointed in the room and the location. Our room was a bit dated and we were surprized that the Hyatt didn't offer us an upgrade under our circumstances, as we were very specific. We would have paid more if they had explained the room properly, as we were very specific and we would have upgraded. We relied on the Hotel's reservation desk to direct us. They made a huge mistake which effected our trip. All in all, the grounds were beautiful and the service was excellent. We spent alot of money and we were determined to make this a memorable occasion. We were very disappointed.

The entire staff was exceptional especially the Front Desk Manager Lena. She was so nice all the way up to our arrival answering all my questions to make the trip special and she even offered us a special accommodation just to simply our stay. The hotel itself is very centrally located, about 20-25 minutes from the airport and other small towns to explore for sights and food. It was so nice to stay somewhere where it's so intimate, that the valets, front desk and restaurant personnel all knew us by name! We had an oceanfront suite and loved feeling like the ocean was part of our backyard. And my light sleeper husband was very grateful for the primarily adult guests because it was unusually quiet for a vacation hotel. :).

My husband and I enjoyed spending our Mini-moon at Ko'a Kea in early March. The location is great,…read morewalkable to Poipu Beach. The restaurant on-site, Red Salt, has delicious (but pricey) brunch and dinner. The pool bar is convenient (but also pricey). Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a very nice bathroom and a huge television. There was a free bottle of white wine in the fridge when we checked in. The room keys in the form of waterproof wristbands are a nice touch. It was mostly adults staying here and very few families with children, which is what we wanted for our mini-moon. Cons: The parking is Valet only. The pool is relatively small. The chairs around it fill up fast when it's busy. If a pool chair opens up, you can't get your own fresh towels/chair cover and have to wait for someone to come through with a cart to swap them out. You can't access the beach directly from the resort; on a map it looks like you can access Kiahuna beach, but you actually have to climb down from the boardwalk onto it (I did not want to do this and walked to Poipu Beach instead). The food is expensive and the "happy hour" drinks are $19. Overall, it was a relaxing stay in a beautiful location!

The service here was great but nothing about this resort that made it stand out. I may sound…read moreoverly critical but it's partly because I've been to quite a few resorts. Why this resort is capped at 3-stars: 1. Only has ONE restaurant, with limited options. 2. Pools are okay, not ones to "ooh" or "ahh" about. 3. Just because there's a small kitchenette and full-sized washer/dryer doesn't mean the room looks any bigger. 4. Overpriced for what it offers. Positive sides: -family friendly -great, friendly cleaning staff In conclusion, I would probably look to stay at a different resort, if I find myself back in Kauai.

We went to the concierge and he said he couldn't help us, we had to wait in line. So we did, for 20 minutes - once we got to the front, she told us we didn't need a pass to park.

Then during some high-spirited toasts we got a bit loud, SECONDS LATER, our waiter came in and told us to keep it down. WE PAID FOR A PRIVATE ROOM. FOR THIS REASON.

My stay at Sheraton Kaua'i Resort Villas came about as a Sheraton Vacation Club timeshare sales presentation. Full disclosure... Marriott brand hotels were my 2nd choice (Hilton brand hotels were my 1st) whenever I traveled especially since my 2nd favorite credit card was from them with points. A vacation ownership resort nestled on Kaua'i's sunny south shore near Poipu Beach, this serene retreat offered a tropical getaway surrounded by the island's lush scenery and gorgeous beach. Make the most of your vacation with access to two pools, a whirlpool spa, a fitness center, and on-site dining options. Choose from comfortable guest rooms, stylish studios or spacious one- and two-bedroom villas. Spread out in a resort villa with separate living, dining, and sleeping areas, kitchenettes, a washer and dryer, and a furnished balcony or lanai.

Honestly, everyone I dealt with was amazing and treated me as if I were a king - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I had no vehicle, so I simply walked from my room. However, there was a nightly $40.00 fee for guests if they parked on the property, and there might've been some free parking along the many nearby roads and streets. Make sure to carefully read any posted signs. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A modern multi-building multi-story resort hotel with the obvious island motif, it featured Lava's On Poipu Beach and RumFire Poipu Beach for dining/drinks, an open lobby area, a garden view pool https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=VkSsTErYnauKWqCXyqxmtw for relaxed swimming and sunning, a ocean view pool https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=-lLO0aIh39wjMim-U41ebA for lounging, a business center for work, a tour desk, and so much more! I found some elements that showed its age and wear, so hopefully, they were actively addressing those. Plenty of natural lighting everywhere while numerous electric lights filled in the rest. There were TVs and background music in the restaurants with some daily entertainment on the grounds. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=m_V8o2h6lZwEAT16NAx8Fg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Sheraton Kaua'i Resort Villas was a much-needed quick getaway that filled all the necessary checkboxes on how I traveled and would return. The biggest selling points were its location, the various amenities of which many I actually used, and that it was a Marriott brand hotel. Lastly, the entire friendly professional staff was awesome. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $2,500.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

The staff is all very nice and they bring you anything you need right away…read more The worst thing about this place is the strange layout of the 1 bedroom villa. The toilet and shower are in one room and then a double sink outside that and across from the weirdly laid out kitchen which is basically all along one wall. There is no dining table, just two barstools at the counter and seating for four around a low coffee table. There is not enough storage space at all.... Two small drawers in a wardrobe unit in the bedroom. There is no way you could store clothes for four people in the place. The studio is really cramped, with even less space in the "kitchen" - there's no way I could stay in that space. The pool by the ocean, on the hotel side is too small given the number of rooms and people. The pool by the villas is a much better size but there is no food service over there. The grilling area needs to be cleaned everyday and it is not. The tables are disgustingly dirty.

We spent one night in one of these (smelled very smoky in master bedroom) and washing machine didn't work well.

Really responsive. Our review is based on our trip in May, 10 great days in building 10. We loved our stay. Clean, comfortable, close to hot tubs (one is adults only) a huge shallow gradually sloped pool with sand & lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a great Snack & Bar area. The bartenders are fun and will make just about anything you can dream up! Large pool is warm enough, hot tubs are wonderful-room for a dozen. The adult hot tub is hotter with chairs, longed and clean new gas grills. This resort is beautiful, w ocean views, walking trails, glorious trees and birds. There is a fully stocked fitness center with group activities in large pool. You are close to Walmart, Costco, Safeway if you want to cook meals and need supplies.

The parking lot would get full at times, but we were always able to find a spot. They have quiet hours posted, but honestly, noise was never a problem here. I'm sure they were busy and full because of the parking lot, but we rarely heard or saw anyone! They also have elevator access and luggage carts which was helpful for when we received our Instacart order. Located right on the ocean, we had a remarkable view of Hoai Bay and Prince Kuhio Beach from our living room/dining room as well as our Lanai. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai, listening to the waves and watching for sea turtles, which was saw many! Locals would come to the beach to fish and even that was fun to watch! There's also a ton of roosters and chickens, and the roosters crow all day, not just in the mornings lol! We also saw thousands of rose ringed parakeets flying into the area in the morning and flying out at night! Showers and foot baths were located in the parking lot to rinse off prior to returning from the beach. We had to take our trash out a couple of times during our stay, and that was located at the end of the parking lot near the BBQ area. The staff was friendly, although our interaction with them was minimal. One kind gentleman on staff offered to take my trash for me and told me to go enjoy my day, that taking out the trash was a horrible thing to have to do on vacation!

Mom and dad have had a timeshare here for years, dad passed 5 months ago and since Mom had had a reservation since last year, she took me instead. It's been such a special time honoring my dad who absolutely loved sitting on the lanai, drinking his macadamia nut coffee, reading books and going snorkeling. They always get the same room 2314 - third floor up on the very left of the main building. I've attached a video. The most amazing view ever and SO relaxing. For the first 2 1/2 days mom and I just read book after book. We sat on the lanai and just relaxed from the crazy past five months. It was perfect. For the first two dinners here we ate at the food trucks that the resort now has booked in the evenings. One was pizza (Pizza Poundahz) and the other Mexican food (Baja Chalupas). The pizza truck was really, really good and the girl running it was super sweet. The Mexican food was just so so and the guy running it didn't have 1 ounce of personality and definitely not customer friendly (aargh). But I love that the resort has this option so we didn't have to go out, just grabbed our dinner and took it back to our room. Perfect! Beyond all that I would definitely come back here, although I myself don't buy into timeshares. The place is top notch, super clean and well stocked. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to. They supply enough coffee filters for a week, and one days worth of coffee grounds. Thank you! Being an end unit, we not only have open windows in the front and back but on the side as well, which is so nice. There's no air-conditioning here which I really think they should have even if it's one unit per room, but yes, the tradewinds are nice, but it's still Hawaii-humid, and sometimes kind of uncomfortable. Mom said they've updated a few things in the room like the couch and comfy chairs, etc. This unit has two bedrooms, the second being two twin beds. In my opinion, they should have a king size bed in each room so you can bring another couple. Kids always love sleeping together anyway if you bring a family so having two twin beds is a little weird to me. Overall, we've been super happy.

You can walk to Spouting Horn. You can walk to the shopping centers and restaurants. You can rent bikes. There are various food trucks on the property on different days. There is a farmers market on Friday (if I remember correctly). The fruits and vegetables are so fresh and fairly priced. DO NOT BUY fruit/vegetables from the street vendors. Complete rip-off. They have different activities daily for people that like to keep busy. The price could not be any more affordable. What we pay to stay there for a week is less than 3 nights at the big brand hotels in the area. You can buy in fairly inexpensively if a prior owner wants out or defaults. We have been staying here for a few years now. You need to take the Rum tour that's about 30 minutes away. Good times!
